PREFACE. 

< ■ 



£^ V To acquaint the members of the Student Guides' Associa- 
tion, and others, with the physical equipment and resources 
N of the University of Pennsylvania, and to assist the students 
«and friends of the University in escorting visitors through 
the institution, the editor prepared, in 1904, a pamphlet 
descriptive of the principal buildings and objects of interest, 
which was the first edition of this Guide Book. 

The present edition is illustrated and has been greatly 
enlarged. It is hoped that the book will prove itself invaluable 
to all who may have occasion to use it. 

The editor is indebted to many officers of the University 
for the assistance given him in the preparation of this edition, 
and is under obligation to Rev. Oliver Huckel, Mr. J. Hartley 
Merrick and Mr. Joseph G. Rosengarten for material on por- 
traits owned by the University; and to Prof. Warren P. Laird, 
the Deans, and other officers who revised the material on 
their respective departments. The illustrations are from 
the large collection of negatives made for the University by 
the editor. 

No attempt has been made to give an exhaustive historical 
account of the University, to include any historical illustra- 
tions, or. to give a detailed description of each of the depart- 
ments and the buildings connected therewith. The primary 
object of the Guide is to acquaint the public with the present 
resources of the University. 

Those wishing detailed information on the courses and 
various departments are referred to the general catalogues 
and departmental publications, and those desirous of looking 
up the historical development or any phase of University 
history or college life are referred to the list of publications 
printed in the appendix to this edition.

August, 1906. 



HISTORICAL SKETCH. 



The latest statistics of the United States Commissioner of 
Education include almost a thousand colleges, universities, and 
professional schools; all except thirty of these were founded 
within the last century, 
ten were in existence 
when the Declaration 
of Independence was 
signed in 1776, and only 
five of the present 
American universities 
were founded more 
than a century and 
a half ago. Harvard 
opened its doors during 
the early part of the 
Seventeenth Century; 
Yale, in the first year 
of the Eighteenth Cen- 
tury; and the Univer- 
sity of Pennsylvania, in 
1740; Washington and 
Lee, and Princeton a 
few years later. 

The University of 
Pennsylvania had its 
origin in the "Charity 
School, " organized in 
1740, which occupied a 
building at Fourth and 
Arch streets, Philadel- 
phia. Nine years later 

Benjamin Franklin, the great American statesman and philos- 
opher, and the founder of the University, published a pamphlet 
on "Education of Youth in Pennsylvania," which resulted in 

(5) 




THE DORMITORIES FROM THE BOTANICAL GARDENS.

the foundation of an Academy which began its first session on 
January 7, 175 1, in the building originally constructed for the 
Charity School. In 1753 the Trustees secured their first charter 
for the Academy; and two years later, by virtue of a second 
charter, the Academy was converted into a college with full 
power to confer the usual collegiate degrees. The first Com- 
mencement was held on May 17, 1757, when the degree of 
Bachelor of Arts was conferred upon seven students. In 1765 
a school of medicine, the first in America, was added to the 
college. In 1779 all the charter rights and privileges of the 
college were absorbed by a new organization, called in its char- 
ter "The Trustees of the University of the State of Pennsyl- 
vania." These rights were restored ten years later, and in 
1 7 91 another charter was granted jointly to the Trustees of the 
Charity School and Academy, of the University and of the 
College, under the corporate name of "The University of Penn- 
sylvania," which name it has borne ever since. Its early his- 
tory was closely associated with the principal events in the 
history of the colonies, and also in the War with Great Britain 
for Independence, in which many of its sons took a leading 
part. Among the signers of the Declaration of Independence 
were ten men who were either graduates of the college or among 
its founders. 

In 1802 the University buildings were removed to Xinth and 
Chestnut streets, where, a century and a quarter after its or- 
ganization, the University found itself located in one of the most 
congested sections of Philadelphia. In 1873 it removed to its 
present site in West Philadelphia. Here its growth was most- 
remarkable. In 1874 the University Hospital was established; 
the year following the Towne Scientific School was added to the 
college, and in quick succession followed the Department of 
Music, Department of Philosophy and Graduate School, De- 
partment of Veterinary Medicine, the Veterinary Hospital, the 
Department of Physical Education, the Department of Archae- 
ology and University Museums, General Library, Training 
School for Nurses, Wistar Institute of Anatomy, Teachers' 
School, Flower Astronomical Observatory, the Evening School, 
and the Summer School — so that the curriculum now covers 
practically every branch of higher education and scientific re- 
earch.

situated ten minutes from the City Hall of Philadelphia — the 
center of a population of over a million and a half. No other 
educational institution of equal size is located so near the heart 
of a great city. The grounds extend from 32nd street to 39th, 
and from Chestnut street to South street. The buildings are 
open to visitors daily, except Sunday, from sunrise to sunset.

The University also owns a large tract of ground on the West 
Chester Pike, on which are located the buildings of the Astro- 




nomical Observatory; these are open to visitors on Thursday 
evenings.

EQUIPMENT. — There are seventy buildings used at present 
to carry on the work of the University; of these nineteen are 
devoted to teaching, eleven to hospitals and auxiliary buildings, 
and the remainder to dormitories, alumni hall, recreation hall, 
gymnasium, athletics, etc. Not included in these seventy build- 
ings are a score of club and fraternity houses. The Christian 
Association also has a large new building in the Schuylkill 
River district for settlement work. 

HOWARD HOUSTON HALL, the students' club house of the 
University, was dedicated in 1895 in memory of Henry Howard 
Houston, Jr., by his parents, H. H. and S. S. Houston; size, 
150x78 feet; cost, $250,000; designed by two graduates 
(not then of age) of the Department of Architecture of the Uni- 
versity, William C. Hays, and M. B. Medary, Jr., in a competi- 
tion, the first and second prizes being awarded to them. The 
building is a combination of the two designs, the exterior plans 
of the second prize being used unchanged. The design was de- 
veloped and the work executed under Frank Miles Day, with 
Messrs. Hays and Medary as associate architects. The style of 
architecture is inspired from early Elizabethan examples and 
may be called "English Collegiate"; the material, North Con- 
shohocken and Indiana limestone. The building is three 
stories high and is one of the most spacious and best furnished 
club houses in Philadelphia. The interior finish is of quartered 
oak, in dark brown shades. Supporting the roof of the audi- 
torium on the second floor are trusses of elaborate design, 
adapted from those in the Great Hall at Eltham Palace, Kent. 
The device used in a decorative way so frequently is an inter- 
weaving of Howard Houston's initials with the Early Christian 
symbol of "The Lamb of God. " 

On the main floor is a spacious lounging or general reception 
room. In this room is a memorial tablet, and an excellent 
portrait of Howard Houston, by Cecilia Beaux — the gift of 
Mr. Houston's classmates. In the east wing are writing rooms 
and a library reading room, in which are kept all current mag- 
azines and newspapers and a large library of English literature ; 
the west wing is fitted up with billiard and pool tables. The 
offices of the club, the cloak room, and the University branch of

12 

the United States postoffice are located on either side of the 
Spruce street entrance. On the two stone corbels which support 
the hood over the north entrance door are carved the heads of 
Dante and Virgil. 

On the second floor is a restaurant, an auditorium with a 
grand organ, and a suite of three "Trophy Rooms." In the 
latter are displayed many prizes won in athletic competition, 
with tablets giving the names and records of the more dis- 
tinguished athletes; here also is the memorial tablet to Osgood, 
the all-round athlete, who died in the Cuban War. 

On the third floor are the offices of "Old Penn, " and a dark 
room for amateur photographers, guest chambers, and several 
society rooms in which the various medical, dental, and other 
student societies hold their monthly meetings. 

Among other interesting objects adorning the walls are the 
portrait of Mr. H. H. Houston, the donor of the building; the 
portrait of Provost Harrison, painted by Henry Floyd: the 
Scott Memorial Tablet; the Class of 'qq C. Memorial Clock, old 
diplomas, etc. The valuable collection of framed photographs, 
illustrating masterpieces of architecture and sculpture, and rep- 
resenting the various schools of Renaissance painting, was 
selected and arranged by Mr. Frank Miles Day; while the 
furniture, rugs, casts, etc., were selected by Provost Harrison, 
by Mrs. Harrison, and by the architects. 

The club has a membership of about 3,500 and is self- 
supporting. The hall is the scene of many social functions, 
dances, receptions, dinners, etc., during the college season. 
The building is open to visitors daily. The University Sunday 
services in the auditorium at 11.00 a. m. are also open to the 
public.

DORMITORIES.— The grounds are entered through the 
Memorial Tower Archway. This tower is a memorial to the 
Pennsylvania students and alumni engaged in the Spanish War. 
This building was opened in 1901, as were most of the others 
to the east of it; those to the west date from 1896. The build- 
ings have been designed in the English Collegiate style, with 
Elizabethan detail, and with their wide enclosures strongly sug- 
gest the Oxford and Cambridge colleges. The carved bosses in 
the main cornice are reminiscent of the Gothic period in Archi- 
tecture. A distinctive feature is the third story with its many 
gables connected by balustrades. Cope and Stewardson are the 
architects. When the system is complete the buildings will 
surround three courts, viz., the "Big Quad" (now usually 
called the "old athletic field"), the "Triangle, " and the "Little 
Quad. " There are twenty- three separate houses, and accom- 
modations for 650 men. The houses are named, in tablets over 
the entrance doors, for the donors or for distinguished alumni. 
All rooms and halls are heated by steam and lighted by elec- 
tricity. The buildings are on the "separate staircase" system, 
all outer doors opening into the courts. On every staircase and 
on each floor are lavatories, with hot and cold shower baths. 
Almost all the suites and double rooms, and many of the single 



19 




A BIT OF DORMITORY ARCHITECTURE. 



20 

rooms, have open fireplaces. The University supplies for each 
student: bedstead, mattress, bureau, washstand, table, book- 
case, chairs, and toilet china. There are five kinds of rooms; 
viz., single, single suite, double, double suite, and triple suite. 
The minimum cost of a room in the Dormitories is $55.00 per 
year. 

Points of interest to visitors are: Class of '92 Memorial 
Fountain, by Alexander Calder, sculptor, (east arcade); Class of 
'94 Memorial Gate (at entrance) ; Class of '98 Memorial Clock 
(over west arcade) ; Class of '00 Memorial Sun Dial (in the "Little 
Quad"); the Terrace (east of Bodine and Morris); site of pro- 
posed Dining Hall (south of Morris) ; the rich carvings over 
doors, etc., especially the grotesque "bosses" of the string 
course between the second and third floors; the bath arrange- 
ments and the system of student self-government — see board 
with name of representatives in the hallway of each house. 

The following is a list of the Dormitory Houses alphabetically 
arranged : 

John Baird House. — This house was the gift of John E. and 
Thomas E. Baird, and named in honor of their father, John 
Baird, who was at one time a member of the corporation of the 
Baldwin Locomotive Works. Mr. Baird was born in 1820. 
Eminent as merchant, manufacturer, and financier. Patron of 
Art and Science, philanthropist and prominent in affairs of the 
Protestant Episcopal Church. Died February 13, 1894. 

Baldwin House. — This house was the gift of John H. Con- 
verse, of Philadelphia, in memory of Matthias W. Baldwin 
(1795-1866), the founder of the Baldwin Locomotive Works. 
He was born at Elizabethtown, N. J., and was one of the most 
benevolent citizens of Philadelphia; many charities are monu-

In the Library office is a large clock presented to the University 
by David Rittenhouse. The following description of the clock 
is given : 

This thirty-day clock was made by David Rittenhouse, 
Esq., LL.D., of Philadelphia, who was a Trustee of the Uni- 
versity of the State of Pennsylvania 1779-1791, and of the 
University of Pennsylvania 1791-1797. as well as Vice-Provost 
and Professor in the former institution. The record on the 
minutes of the Board of Trustees relates that on August 4, 
1790, Mr. Rittenhouse presented this "very valuable timepiece, 
which he had put up in the Provost's room." The clock was 
moved in 1802 to the University buildings on Ninth Street, 
where it stood for years in the room of Professor John Fries 
Frazer. In 1S72 it was trans f erred to the present College 
Hall, where it remained for twenty years, until finally placed 
in its present position.

trait by I. L. Williams hangs on the first staircase landing in 




the main hallway. The building was designed by Cope and 
Stewardson, and shows the broad, projecting eaves and other 
characteristics of brick architecture, in the Italian Renais- 
sance style. The building is .one of the finest and best 



48 

equipped chemical laboratories in America . It is three 
stories high. On the first floor is a large laboratory for 
general and analytical electrochemistry, an electric furnace 
room, assay room, room for heating under pressure, assay 
balance room, laboratory for technical chemistry, the offices of 
the department, storage rooms, etc. There is also a large 
amphitheatre seating 300 persons. On the second floor are two 
large laboratories, qualitative and quantitative, hydrogen 
sulphide rooms, a dark room, a spectroscope room, gas analysis 
and reading rooms, lecture rooms, a museum and private re- 
search rooms. On the third floor are an organic laboratory, a 
combustion room, and several private research laboratories.

modeled for the Department of Physics in 1900. Building and 
endowment — $250,000 — gift of Randal Morgan. Situated on 
34th street below Walnut street. Building 60 x 80 feet, three 
stories and a basement. It is built of red brick, and was de- 
signed by Cope and Stewardson, in the style of the brick archi- 
tecture of the Italian Renaissance. The Laboratory is equipped 
with seventy-five thousand dollars' worth of physical apparatus, 
including several valuable pieces for work of research in heat, 
radiation, and in electricity and magnetism. A shop and tool- 
room, fitted with all the latest devices, is located in the base- 
ment, east side, w^hile the west side is occupied by an air liquefier 
and other research apparatus. On the first floor are the prac- 
tical laboratories; on the second, the lecture and class rooms; 
and on the third, eight or nine rooms for special research. The 
cabinet for lecture and illustration is particularly well equipped.

THE VIVARIUM, established in 1898, is located along Hamil- 
ton Walk, west of Biological Hall. It has fresh and salt water 
aquaria containing a great variety of marine and fresh water 
animals; houses for land animals, and experimental rooms. 
This was the first vivarium ever connected with any educational 
institution. 

HAMILTON WALK.— This is one of the most beautiful 
stretches on the University Campus, occupying the former site 
of Pine street, from 34th street to 38th; along the north side 
are the Dormitories and the "Old Athletic Field"; on the 
south the new Medical Laboratories, Biological Hall, the Vivar- 
ium and the Botanic Gardens; at the 38th street entrance 
is the Class of 1873 Memorial Gate; along both sides of Hamil- 
ton Walk are growing shade trees, of many rare varieties, 
planted for prominent Pennsylvanians, each tree marked by a 
bronze tablet inscribed with the name of the one to whom it is 
dedicated.

♦Tablets for these have not yet been supplied or have been tem- 
porarily removed. 

On a sago palm in one of the greenhouses of the Botanical 

Department is a brass tablet inscribed: 

I was born about one hundred and fifty years ago in 
"The Land of the Rising Sun," where they named me 
SAGOBEI SHURO, but here I am known as SAGO PALM, 
while botanists call me CYCAS REVOLUTA. 

I lived in peace among my fellows till about five years 
ago, when some of the skilled gardeners of my native land 
severed my roots, removed my leafy crown and packed me up 
like a mummy ; then they sent me across the wide waters to 
an enterprising firm named Dreer, in this great "Land of the 
Setting Sun." Here I lived till a botanist from the shrines 
of learning in this city of Brotherly Love revered my age, 
genealogy & stature, and so desired to have me. 

By the generosity of Mrs. James McManes I was secured 
for my present abode, where by kind treatment I have regained 
my old dignity and leafy crown. Though far from my native 
home, I can survey the wonders of this great institution & 
exclaim : "I am the oldest living being in the University." 
Nay, more, when those who now serve it are gathered to their 
sires, I hope still to be green and flourishing.

THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT was established about 
1874, and work in Electrical Engineering about 189 1. These 
occupied rooms in College Hall prior to the construction of 
the special buildings in 1892. 

NEW ENGINEERING BUILDING.— Located at 33rd and 
Locust streets. It faces south and is parallel with Dental Hall; 
ground broken August 12, 1903; dedicated October 19, 1906. 
It has a frontage of 300 feet and a depth of 160 feet, besides a 
large wing 50 feet square extending from the rear. Cost, $750,000. 
The building was designed by Cope and Stewardson. It is fire- 
proof throughout, while the equipment is of the most modern 
and approved type. The exterior is of dark brick with lime- 
stone trimmings, and while the general architectural treat- 
ment is in the English Georgian school and in accord with 
the keynote given by the Dormitories and later University 
buildings, it is in a quieter vein. There are three stories, 
with a basement covering a third of the entire area. There 
is a total floor area of 128,000 square feet. It is the largest 
on the Campus and is the best equipped building of its kind. 
The heating is by direct steam, the ventilation by electrically 
driven fans, and the lighting by electricity. There are two 
principal entrances leading to the main hallway, which ex- 
tends east and west the entire length of the building to stair- 
cases at both extremities. Two large light- wells terminate 
in skylights are over the main floor. The basement contains 
locker-rooms, lavatories, machinery for heating and ventilat- 
ing, storage battery rooms, laboratories for geodetic and hydrau- 
lic work, and for the testing of the materials of construction. 
On the first floor, adjacent to the main entrance, are the offices 
of the heads of departments. Accommodation is also pro- 
vided for physical and hydraulic testing, instrument testing 
and for special work in mechanical and electrical engineering. 
Rooms are likewise set aside for dynamos and electric motors, 
steam and gas engines, refrigerating apparatus, hydraulic 
motors, boiler testing, pattern making, wood and iron working, 
foundry and machine shops, etc. On the second floor is a ref- 
erence library and reading room, a students' assembly room, 
rooms for use of instructors and for lectures and recitations.

57 

The rear portion of this floor is devoted almost wholly to draw- 
ing rooms. A room for the use of the engineering societies, 
a general supply store, and the library stack occupy the middle 
portion. In the east and west wings ample space is assigned 
to the engineering museums, while the rear of this floor is set 
aside exclusively for additional drawing rooms, which, like 
those just beneath, will have the full advantage of a north 
light. 

LIGHT, HEAT, AND POWER PLANT.— The plant is located 
at the northwest corner of 34th and Spruce streets. It con- 
sists of two buildings, which were dedicated on May 26, 1893, 
both constructed of dark red brick with brownstone trim- 
mings. The one is 56 x 200 feet, with a 14-foot driveway 
on 34th street, under which are the coal bins; and the other 
is 109 x 49 feet. The buildings were designed by Wilson 
Brothers, architects. Both buildings are one story high, 
and are connected with each other by a 13-foot shed. The 
building to the west was originally four stories high and was 
used by the Mechanical Engineering Department from 1893 
to 1906, when it was partially destroyed by fire. 

These buildings contain eight boilers of 1900 horse power 
each, and four engines of 425 horse power. The plant supplies 
light and heat to all University buildings except the Museum, 
Wistar Institute, and the New Gymnasium. It furnishes 
power to about 13,000 incandescent lights of 16 c. p., and 
heats an air space of 14,000,000 cubic feet. During the winter 
months the plant consumes as much as 80 tons of coal a day, 
more than 12,000 tons being used annually. 

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING ANNEX.— East side of 34th 
street, between Morgan Laboratory of Physics and Bennett 
Hall. This building is temporarily occupied by the Mechan- 
ical Engineering Department. It is constructed of red brick, 
and was designed by Cope and Stewardson, in architectural 
character with its neighbor, the Randal Morgan Laboratory 
of Physics. It is 67x45 feet, with awing 49x23 feet, con- 
taining in all 12,000 square feet. The first floor is used as a 
wood- working shop and foundry; the second floor, for drawing; 
and the third floor, for an electrical engineering laboratory.

THE FLOWER ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY is situated 
on the " Flower Farm," on the West Chester Pike, two miles 
from 63rd and Market streets. The Obser\^atory buildings

were designed by Edgar V. Seeler, and constructed in 1895; 
they are three in number : the equatorial building of brick ; 
the meridian building of wood; and the residence of the director 
and the Astronomical Library. Among the principal instru- 



59 

ments are an Equatorial Telescope of 18 inches aperture , 
Meridian Circle, Transit Instrument Reflex Zenith, Tube 
Chronometers, Chronograph, etc. The cost of building and 
equipment was over $50,000.^ The fund for building and 
maintenance was provided by the late Reese Wall Flower, of 
Philadelphia. 

The Observatory is open to visitors every Thursday evening 
throughout the year, except during the vacation, from 7 to 

10 P. M. 

WHARTON SCHOOL BUILDING (contemplated). The 
Wharton School of Finance and Commerce was" founded by 
Joseph Wharton, who endowed it in ,1883. Begjtining with 
the fall of 1904, the school has occupied temporary "quarters 
in Logan Hall. The future home of the school will be in a 
building to be erected on a lot on Woodland avenue opposite 
the Wistar Institute, and running through to Locust street. 
Mr. Wharton's gifts to the school thus far amount to a total 
of $530,000. The new building about to be erected will have 
a frontage of 150 feet on Woodland avenue, and about 250 
feet on Locust street, its depth being about 302 feet. The 
building will also bel the gift of Mr. Wharton and will cost, 
with its equipments', about $250,000. Cope and Stewardson 
have prepared the,, plans; the architecture will be similar to 
that of the other^fecently erected buildings. 

ARCHITECTURAL BUILDING (contemplated). Plans are 
under way for the construction and equipment of a buildings 
for the school of architecture to cost about $500,000. 

The school now occupies a suite of fourteen rooms on the 
third floor of College Hall, having become one of the largest 
schools of architecture in the country. Its library, draughting 
rooms, studios, and other rooms are open to the public. 

MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.— Founded 1765. First class 
to receive Medical Degree in America was graduated in 1768.

tine stone, in 1874. It is 160 x 89 feet, and houses the De- 
partment of Anatomy, including applied Anatomy, Histology 
and Embryology, and Osteology. In the building are two

large amphitheatres and three demonstration rooms. A 
large part of this building was vacated upon the removal of 
several of the Departments to the new laboratory building. 
The parts thus vacated are temporarily occupied by the Whar- 
ton School of Finance and Commerce. 

In Logan Hall, in the office, is a Chinese motto, presented 
to Mr. Joseph Wharton by His Excellency, the Chinese Min- 
ister, Sir Chengtung Liang Cheng. Translated, the motto 
reads : 

"The scholar (or student) who consults his ease is not worthy 
to be called a scholar (or student) . ' ' 

ROBERT HARE LABORATORY OF CHEMISTRY.— North- 
east corner of 36th and Spruce streets. Built 1874, of green 
serpentine stone, 148x46 feet; architect, Professor Thomas 
Richards. First three floors occupied by the Department of 
Medical Chemistry; on the fourth floor is the dissecting room. 

THE NEW LABORATORY BUILDING OF THE MEDICAL 
DEPARTMENT, dedicated June 10, 1904. This is one of the 
most imposing buildings of the University It faces the 
south side of Hamilton Walk, west of 36th street, occupying 
the site where stood the old buildings of the Veterinary Depart- 
ment and Hospitals. The structure is fireproof throughout, 
the exterior being of hard burnt brick and buff Indiana lime- 
stone, and the interior finished in white Italian marble. The 
building has a frontage of 337 feet along Hamilton Walk, 
and a depth of 192 feet; it is two stories above a high base- 
ment, and cost almost $700,000. It is quadrangular in shape 
and constructed around a courtyard so as to give all the large 
laboratories and research rooms a north light. The building 
is the largest and best equipped of its kind in America. The 
architecture is in the English Collegiate style of the Middle 
Seventeenth Century, and is in harmony with that of the 
dormitories and other recently erected buildings designed by 
Cope and Stewardson. 

Adjacent to the main entrance are the administration offices 
of the Medical Department. 

There are two large amphitheatres in the rear of the building 
with a seating capacity of 400 each, and two large demon-

stration rooms, seating 185 each. The departments of Physi- 
ology and Pharmacodynamics occupy the first floor and base- 
ment, while the second floor is devoted exclusively to path- 
ology with temporary accommodations for a number of pro- 
fessors of other departments, until the completion of future 
building operations looking towards the transfer of the entire 
medical school to buildings adjacent to this one. Among the 
principal rooms are those devoted to physical diagnosis, band- 
aging, research, and sub-section teaching in physiology in the 
basement. On the first floor are numerous rooms equipped 
for aseptic operations on lower animals; numerous small 
rooms for research work, professors and assistants; rooms for 
sub-section teaching, in digestion, circulation, respiration, 
calorimetry, nerve, muscle, special senses, etc.; and photo- 
graphic dark room, repair, and storage rooms; etc. On this 
floor are three large laboratories for physiology, practical 
pharmacodynamics and practical pharmacy, respectively; 
a museum, a library, and rooms for assistants and research. 
The chief purpose of the second floor is for laboratory instruction 
in pathology. Most of the north front of the building is de- 
voted to laboratories for advanced students in experimental 
pathology and pathological bacteriology and the special re- 
search and assistants' rooms. The east wing accommodates 
the laboratory of advanced pathological histology and a seminar 
and journal room; the west wing is occupied by the path- 
ological museum, the Gross morbid anatomy demonstration 
room, a room for museum preparation, photographic rooms, 
and rooms for animal operations. The front of the laboratory 
of pathological histology consists almost entirely of glass and 
is located so as to face a spacious court to the north, thus in- 
suring excellent and uniform light and admirably adapting it 
for microscopic work carried on by a large class. In a similar 
section of the building, east of the central hall, with similar 
front arrangements to insure light for microscopic work, are 
located two smaller laboratories for the teaching of surgical 
pathology, neuro-pathology and clinical pathological tech- 
nology; the private rooms for the instructors of these branches 
open upon these larger laboratories. 

In the corridors and stairways are portraits in oil of many of 
the more prominent of the deceased Professors.

bounded by 34th, 36th, Spruce and Pine streets. In these 
buildings are six amphitheatres, and fourteen wards with a 
total of 306 beds. The medical staff of the Hospital consists 
of more than 100 physicians and 86 nurses. In the basement 
of the central buildings are surgical and medical dispensaries 
and dispensaries for special diseases. 

Extensions have been recently made to each of the main 
Hospital buildings so that each floor of every building is now 
provided with a spacious sun parlor. 



THE MAIN HOSPITAL BUILDING.— Constructed of serpen- 
tine (green) stone, dedicated June 4, 1874; size 171 x 185

the University by Dr. William Osier. 

WILLIAM PEPPER, JR. — Marble bust on pedestal; in- 
scribed : 

William Pepper 
Provost of the University of Pennsylvania. 

GIBSON WING FOR CHRONIC DISEASES.— Erected in 
1883, size 45x183 feet; material, red brick; cost, $85,000. 
Architects, Wilson Brothers. Named in honor of the late 
Henry C. Gibson, as a tribute to his numerous benefactions 
to the University. The pavilion was originally erected for 
the treatment of heart and lung diseases. It now contains 
the Children's Medical Ward of twenty beds; the Ward for 
Chronic Surgical Cases of twenty beds; the students' Medical 
Ward of ten beds, and a number of private rooms. 

THE MATERNITY PAVILION, located in rear of the Pepper 
Laboratory; erected in 1901; size 107x80 feet; material, 
red brick. Architects, Cope^ and Stewardson. Can accom- 
modate forty patients and has an amphitheatre seating 200. 

THE MORTUARY AND CHAPEL, small buildings in the 
rear of the Main Pavilion, erected in 1890, at a cost of $11,000. 

X-RAY LABORATORY.— This laboratory has been erected 
in the rear of the Agnew pavilion. It is one of the most im- 
portant parts of the University Hospital System; and with 
other improvements, involved an expenditure of sixty thousand 
dollars, $25,000 of which was appropriated by the Pennsylvania 
State Legislature towards the laboratory. 



75 

BUILDING FOR CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.— No cases of 
contagious diseases are taken into the University Hospital, 




this building having been constructed merely for the purpose 
of isolating the few cases of contagious diseases which develop 
among the patients in the general hospital. The building 



76 

was designed by Brockie and Hastings, and is located in the 
rear part of the hospital yard, along what will be the continu- 
ation of Hamilton Walk. The architecture is Renaissance, 
and in keeping with the other University Hospital buildings. 
The building is 60 x 34, two stories above a high basement, 
and cost about $25,000. It is absolutely sanitary, the outer 
walls being double, with a wide space between the two, which 
avoids all dampness. The floors are of reinforced concrete, 
with a finished flooring of a patent material, without joints.. 
This material is turned up around all walls and forms a base- 
board and floor throughout the entire building, without a 
single joint or crevice. There is a complete system of heating 
and forced ventilation. 

There are two stories and a basement. In the latter are 
contained all the heating and mechanical equipment, pipes, 
etc. On the first floor there is an open porch running through 
the building from one side to the other. From this porch 
opens the stairway, connecting the two floors; also opening 
from this porch is a general storeroom for linen, bedding, 
stretcher supplies, etc. These four rooms, two on each floor, 
are placed at the sides of the stairway and entirely cut off 
from the other part of the building, the open porch coming 
between the two portions. - 

On the west side of the porch are the rooms for the patients. 
All rooms open into a main corridor. The food is delivered 
from the open porch on the first floor through a special window 
into the first story diet kitchen, and by means of a dumb-waiter 
to the second story diet kitchen. 

THE LAUNDRY BUILDING.— The laundry building is 7 2 x 34 
feet, and cost about $16,000. It was also designed by 
Brockie and Hastings. On the first floor is a large disinfect- 
ing plant for bedding and linen, which is isolated from the rest 
of the first floor, in which all the washing is done, as well as 
the finishing of large pieces. 

The second floor is equipped with large drying rooms, iron- 
ing machines, and tables for hand work. This floor also con- 
tains the office of the head laundress, and a large room with 
shelves and divisions, into which the work of each nurse, 



77 

resident, or private patient, is put. The plant is operated by 
electricity, and is now the most complete laundry for hospital 
work in the city. The lighting, heating, and ventilating appar- 
atus is also operated by electricity. 

HOME FOR NURSES, located at 34th and Spruce streets; 
erected in 1886; architect, Amos J. Boyden. This building 
was erected in memory of Mrs. Richard D. Wood by her 
children. The training school for nurses has at present 86 
students.

THE VETERINARY DEPARTMENT, founded in 1884; 
formerly located at 36th and Pine streets (now Hamilton 
Walk), on a plot donated by the City and now occupied by 
the new Medical Laboratory buildings. The Veterinary De- 
partment and Hospital moved into a temporary building at 
39th and Woodland avenue in 1901. The former buildings, 
on the grounds of the Veterinary Department, had a street 
frontage of 600 feet. The present temporary quarters are 
entirely inadequate and unsuited to the needs of the Veter- 
inary Department and Hospital, and the scope of the work of 
the institution should not be judged by the poorly built structure 
that is its temporary home. 

The new buildiag of the Department, which is in process of 
erection, will occupy the entire lot at 39th street, De Lancey 
street and Woodland avenue, which has been purchased for 
this purpose at a cost of over $40,000. The dimensions of 
this plot are 260 feet by 210. The building, which will cost 
$250,000, will be erected around all four sides of the square, 
leaving a courtyard in the center. The style of architecture 
will be similar to that of the University Dormitories. Plans 
have been prepared by Cope and Stewardson.

LAW DEPARTMENT. — First Professor of Law, Hon. James 
Wilson, elected 1790. Department founded in 1850 by Hon. 
George Sharswood. Teaching staff, 18; number of students, 
322. Alumni, about 2,500 graduates and 3,000 matriculates. 

THE LAW SCHOOL BUILDING.— Dedicated February 
22, 1900; size 120x190 feet; material, Indiana limestone and 
dull red brick; cost, $450,000; architecture, similar in char- 
acter to the English Renaissance as developed by Sir Chris- 
topher Wren. Architects, Cope and Stewardson. Construc- 
tion entirely fireproof. Points of interest: Beautiful hall- 
ways and grand staircase. Second floor, Sharswood and Mc- 
Kean Halls, richly ornamented, are 40x114 feet and 30 feet 
high; each hall contains 254 individual desks; the former 
named for Chief Justice Sharswood, who organized the school, 
and the latter for Chief Justice McKean, of Pennsylvania; 
McMurtrie Hall, the graduate reading room; the Biddle Law 
Library, of 35,000 volumes, in fireproof stacks. Paintings 
and engravings of famous jurists and former members of the 
teaching staff adorn the walls through the building. There are 
also numerous busts, and bronze and marble memorial tablets, 
in various parts of the building. On the main floor are six 
classrooms, a moot court-room, Wharton Hall, Price Hall 
(debating room), and the Museum of the Pennsylvania Bar 
Association. In the basement are the club rooms of the various 
student organizations of the Law School, the Musical or- 
ganizations of the University, and a restaurant. In the sub- 
cellar is one of the most modern lighting, heating, and ventilat- 
ing plants. 

A large lot immediately in the rear of the Law School build- 
ing is owned by the University and was purchased for the 
extension of the Law School building in the future. The 
University Tennis Association occupies it at present with six 
excellent tennis courts. 

On the circular medallions of stone in the first story are cut 
the names chosen by the late Hon. John I. Clark Hare for 
special honor, names of the great beginners of law and of its 
great exponents down to our own time .

America, are located immediately in the rear of the University 
Museums. 

MUSEUM BUILDINGS (northwestern section), begun in 
1897 and dedicated December 20, 1899. Cost, including 
present equipment, $400,000. The joint architects, in charge 
of the plans for the completion of the Museums, are Messrs. 
Wilson Eyre, Jr., Cope and Stewardson, and Frank Miles Day 
and Brother. The completed plans provide for an extensive 
group of buildings to be constructed by sections. The whole 
is to cover almost twelve acres of ground and to cost about 
$2,250,000. The section now erected, the northwestern, will 
form about one-seventh of the building when completed. The 
plans provide for an enormous dome which will dominate 
the entire composition. From this dome broad galleries are 
to extend eastward and westward to two secondary domes, 
with each of which are connected two groups of buildings, one 
facing north and the other facing south. The portion at present 
erected is a part of the western group, and consists' of a series 
of buildings facing three sides of a courtyard in which there is 
a large pool containing aquatic plants. To the westward of 
the Museum, extending to 34th street, are terraced grounds, 
in the center of which is the statue, in bronze, of the late Dr. 
William Pepper, by Carl Bitter.

Competent critics consider the treatment of this building 
and its courtyard one of the most charming and successful 
works of architecture in this country. It is inspired by the 
round arched brick architecture of Northern Italy. The 
material is rough brick of a somewhat unusual color, laid with 
wide mortar joints, the only exterior ornamentation being rough 
mosaic fragments of brick and marble. The roof, of Spanish 
tiles, adds greatly to the beauty of the structure.

THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION was organized in 1873, 
and incorporated in 1882. The "Old Field," located at 37th 
and Spruce streets— now the site for the Dormitory extension, 
was used for all athletic contests from 1885 to 1895. 

FRANKLIN FIELD.— Dedicated April 20, 1895. Improve- 
ments consisting of stadium and grandstand and gymnasium; 
cost, exclusive of grounds, 8400,000. These improvements 
were made during 1 903-1 904. The architects were Frank 
Miles Day and Brothers. The Field is 714 feet long and 443 
feet wide. The stands are built similar to a house, the slant 
representing the roof. Massive walls with solid buttresses 
form the backs, the low w^alls, the copings; while the roof, 
covered with felt, cement, and slag, supports the seats and 
foot board. These stands cover the north, south, and east 
sides of the field, while the gymnasium encloses the west side. 
Underneath the stands are excellent indoor tracks and winter 
training quarters for athletes. The seating capacity of the 
stands is about 20,000. At each end of the gymnasium there 
is a memorial gateway dedicated to Penn's famous athletes; 
these form the main entrances to Franklin Field. The field 
contains a quarter-mile track, football gridiron, a baseball 
diamond, etc. On the "Old Athletic Field, " at 37th and Spruce 
streets, there are a number of tennis courts; there are also 
six courts in the rear of the Law School Building and a number 
in the hospital yards. 

THE GYMNASIUM stands on the w^est end of Franklin 

Field, having a face upon both the latter and 33rd street. 
The approximate cost of improvements is $400,000, which was 



105 

raised by the Athletic Association. The Gymnasium build- 
ing was erected 1903-4; is 275 x 80 feet, being made up of 
a central portion and two square towers rising above the other 
portions, and wing buildings at the end. The architecture is 
English Collegiate Gothic, and the material of dark red brick 
with black headers laid in Flemish bond, trimmed with terra 
cotta and in some parts with Indiana limestone of the same 
color. The construction is entirely fireproof, the floors and 
columns being of concrete. The architects were Frank Miles 
Day and Brothers. One-half of the ground floor of the main 
building is taken up with a swimming pool which is 100 feet 
long and 30 feet wide, 9 feet deep at one end, 4 feet 6 inches 
at the other. There is a gallery for spectators. The other 
portion of the lower floor is divided into rooms for fencing, 
sparring, rowing, boxing, etc. 

The entire second floor is the gymnasium proper, which is 
about 150 x 75 feet, with a skylight over almost the entire 
roof. The towers and wing buildings contain locker rooms 
for students, professors, home and visiting teams. There are 
about 2,000 lockers in all, with provision for nearly double 
that number. There are ample shower bath rooms for those 
using the gymnasium, as well as rooms for secretary, manager, 
physical instructor, etc. There are two main entrances on 
33rd street, extending into large halls leading to the upper 
floors. There are also entrances from the Field, and all parts 
of the building are connected with each other. 

TRAINING HOUSE. — The training house with dormitories 
for athletes is at 33rd and Marston streets, alongside of the 
north wing of the Gymnasium; contrary to the opinion of 
many, when this site was first proposed for the training house, 
the new building adds to the architectural dignity of the Gym- 
nasium, with which it conforms closely in style. The architect, 
Mr. Horace Trumbauer, who is a graduate of the College De- 
partment, has handled his subject in a way which beautifies 
a corner which has been the least attractive on the athletic 
grounds. The building contains ample accommodations for 
twenty-six men and the large living and dining halls accom- 
modate at least seventy. The building consists of three 



106 

stories over a high basement. In the basement are the kitchen 
and pantry, the steward's and servants' rooms, and the boiler 
and engine rooms. On the first floor is a large lounging room 
and dining hall, connected with an open hallway. The coaches 
also have rooms on this floor, leading off from the hall. On 
the second and third floors are twenty-six bedrooms and a 
study. The building is connected underground with the 
Gymnasium.

VARSITY BOAT HOUSE ON THE SCHUYLKILL. 



UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA BOAT HOUSE.— Located 
in Fairmount Park on the Schuylkill River. The College Boat 
Olub of the University of Pennsylvania was founded in 1872, 
and the present boat house built a few years later. The first 
University crew was organized in 1877. A fund is now being 
raised for the construction of a new and more modern boat 
house upon the west banks of the Schuylkill. 

The Schuylkill River, known as the "National Course," 
was selected by the representatives of various American Row- 
ing Associations as the best course for holding the "American 



109 

Regatta" — -which is destined to become a sporting event as- 
important to Americans as the "Henley Regatta" is to the 
English. 

ALUMNI HALL. — 3451 Woodland avenue. The building 
was formerly the home of the Medical Institute. The first 
floor contains the printing plant of the "Daily Pennsylvanian, "' 
the undergraduate daily newspaper. The upper floor is 
occupied by the General Alumni Society, publishers of the 




UNIVERSITY SETTLEMENT BUILDING. 

''Alumni Register," the graduate monthly magazine. There- 
is also a reading room, open to alumni and undergraduates, 
where collegiate publications are kept on file. Hours, nine 
to five. 



THE UNIVERSITY CHRISTIAN SETTLEMENT.— The new 

building at the northwest corner of Lombard and 26th 
streets was opened in the fall of 1906. It was designed 
in the Philadelphia English Colonial Style by Mr. Charles 
F. Osborne, and has the latest equipment of a modern settle- 
ment building, and adjoining Children's Playground. The 



110 

total cost was $50,000. The building is 82 x 54 feet, with 
three stories, basement, and roof garden. The basement 
contains a gymnasium 40 x 60 feet (which may be used as an 
auditorium), a bowling-alley room, and locker rooms with 
showers, and heating plant. The first floor comprises the 
office, gymnasium gallery, and two club rooms for men, with 
baths and a separate entrance; the second floor has an audi- 
torium which is also used as the girls' gymnasium, the library, 
two club rooms for young men, two for boys, two for girls, a 
demonstrating kitchen, and a locker room with baths for girls. 
The third floor provides living quarters for the Resident Di- 
rector and family, four women workers and ten students. 
The roof garden is well adapted for kindergarten work, base- 
ball, entertainments and festivals. 

The old building, which has been connected with the new 
house by a hallway, contains a small gymnasium room for 
games, and class rooms for the small boys. An enclosure 
between the two buildings is used for the "physician's office" 
and the boys' baths. The actual work is carried on by the 
residents, and by the Professors and students of the Univer- 
sity who go down one evening a week to conduct classes in 
gymnastics, printing, singing, manual training, etc. There 
are also lectures, entertainments, and religious meetings. 
Athletics have a prominent place in the Settlement activities, 
and there are teams in football, basketball, and baseball. 
These teams use the Settlement Athletic Field which has been 
secured on the west bank of the Schuylkill River, almost opposite 
the Settlement Building. 

A Summer Camp is conducted each year from about Com- 
mencement until the first of September, during which time 
all of the regular members of the various clubs are taken out 
for a week or ten days in the country. 

Detailed information about the Settlement may be secured 
at any time at the Christian Association Rooms in Houston 
Hall. 

THE MASK AND WIG CLUB.— Pennsylvania's famous 
theatrical organization was founded in 1889. It occupies 
a unique home at 310 Quince street, formerly a stable. It 



Ill 

was remodeled by Wilson Eyre, Jr., and decorated by Max- 
field Parrish. The Club House has cost the organization more 
than $20,000; it includes a grill room and offices, an auditorium 
or rehearsal hall, with stage and dressing rooms, kitchens, etc. 
There are two classes of members — undergraduate and alumni. 
In the early winter the Mask and Wig ''Preliminary Perform- 
ances" are held in the Club theater. These are for the purpose 
of "trying out" new candidates, and admission is entirely by 
invitation. None but "apprentices" are allowed to take part. 
From the best talent in the "preliminaries" the Club picks 
its material for the big annual Easter production. This is

always in the nature of a pictorial extravaganza, and is played 
during the whole of Easter week at one of the large Phila- 
delphia theaters. The "annual production" is always new 
and original, and costs approximately $10,000. Nearly one 
hundred students take part, and the whole preparation and 
management is in the hands of the alumni members of the 
Club. "The Mask and Wig Show" has become the dominat- 
ing feature of Easter week in Philadelphia.

THE UNIVERSITY HYMN. 

Hail, Pennsylvania, noble and strong, 
To thee, with loyal hearts, we raise our song, 
Swelling to Heaven loud our praises ring, 
Hail, Pennsylvania! of thee we sing. 

Majesty as a crown, rests on thy brow, 
Pride, honor, glory, love, before thee bow; 
Ne'er shall thy spirit die, nor thy walls decay, 
Hail, Pennsylvania! for thee we pray. 

Hail, Pennsylvania! guide of our youth, 
Lead thou thy children on to light and truth, 
Thee, when death summons us, others shall praise, 
Hail, Pennsylvania! through endless days! 

THE RED AND BLUE COLLEGE SONG. 

Come all ye loyal classmen now, 

In hall and campus through, 
Lift up your hearts and voices, 

For the royal Red and Blue. 
Fair Harvard has her crimson, 

Old Yale her colors, too, 
But for dear Pennsylvania 

We'll wear the Red and Blue. 



125 

CHORUS. | 



Hurrah! Hurrah! Pennsylvania! 

Hurrah for the Red and the Blue! 
Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! 

Hurrah for the Red and Blue! 

One color's in the blushing rose, 

The other tints the clouds, 
And when together both disclose, 

We're happy as the gods. 
We ask no other emblem, 

No other sign to view; 
We only ask to see and cheer 

Our colors, Red and Blue. 

And now, thro' all the years to come, 

In midst of toil and care, 
We'll get new inspiration from 

The colors waving there. 
And when, to all our college life, 

We've said our last adieu, 
We'll never say adieu to thee, 

Our colors, Red and Blue.
